Love the Vicks Brand, this steam vaporizer is perfect to use when you need some moisture and steam in the air. I never go without having one of these every year. Easy to clean, works for years, better than the cool mist machines in my opinion. Loosen up stuffy noses and coughs. You must keep this up high on a safe flat surface if you have children who climb and possibly touching the steam and getting burned. The water inside is extremely hot to produce the steam. The outer parts feel warm but won't burn you, only if it gets knocked over and water comes out. Best vaporizer by far by a trusted brand. Read more
The Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer has been a great help in keeping the air comfortable, especially during cold and allergy season. The 1.5-gallon tank runs quietly through the night and provides steady warm mist that helps ease congestion and dry throat. The soft night light is a thoughtful touch for kids’ rooms, and I love that it works with VapoPads and VapoSteam for extra soothing relief. It’s easy to fill, simple to clean, and reliable — overall, a great choice for small to medium rooms. Highly recommended for families or anyone needing extra comfort while sleeping! Read more
Works great and is a bit smaller than most, which is nice because it doesn't take up a ton of room on the nightstand. Read more
I bought this 1.5 gal vicks vaporizer last year. Ok with noise and heat. I tried using Vicks vaporizer pads in slots. Two days no vaporizer smell and padsnot dissolving. So I added vaporizer to tray. That works great. I hope vicks will respond because I just ordered a second unit for bedroom for winter. Thanks. Value wise best one yet. Read more
They produce hot steam, and you can put the extra vapo-steam menthol liquid in the water if you want to clear you sinuses. This vaporizer takes static out of the air and plumps up your skin. Especially important in winter when it's dry from artificial heat. I would not be caught without one of these. They last for years. I bought this one as a gift for a friend- not very glam, but it's just a must-have, and it's easy & lightweight to take anywhere (when empty, of course). If you live somewhere with hard water (like southern California)- please try to use distilled or at least filtered water in this. With hard water, you will see plack crusty buildup in the container when you goto change or add more water. That can clog the steam recepticale, so try to get it all out. If it does get clogged & stops steaming well, a pinch of salt in the water will get it going! Read more
I had terrible nasal congestion, noticed low humidity in my house. Barely 30%. Dug out old fashioned steamer. 40% and everything was wonderful. Unfortunately, 30 year old steam croaked. Visks make this wonderful replacement. Salt is the key. I have no idea why. I'm doing the recommended 1/8 teaspoon, in a unconfined 300 ft room and it does better than 40%? You'll start steaming up the windows. More salt, it will go 50%, but after that, you start to take the paint off the walls! No filter or seal to mess with, so easy-peasy. It's just a bucket with a heating element. Simply plug it in! I've been using it for about 2 weeks, it's real darn steady. Real quiet now, I sometimes check to make sure it's on. Does 12-15 hours easily. Salt makes it quite adjustable. It will go Volcano with enough salt. One more should cover most of the house? A simple solution for little money. Read more
Someone else wrote about how they just don't make vaporizers like they used to. I 100% agree. It doesn't put out much steam (like we're talking barely noticeable), and the directions are confusing. It says "DO NOT ADD SALT" and yet on the product it says if there is not enough steam to add "a pinch of salt." I miss the ones I grew up with. Not sure if I'll return this or not. Read more
I bought this for the winters in our oil heated home. It is so dry that our skin was cramp g and we were getting bloody noses. It is so easy to use, just fill to line add a little salt and plug it in. We have had several other humidifiers that just do not work and leave a haze on everything nearby. This vaporizer works so well and doesn’t leave any residual haze in the home. My only complaint is I wish it held more water because you have to refill it daily. ***Also vapor is hot unlike humidifier so needs to be out of reach of children and animals *** Overall, I'd definitely recommend this.
